want 2 keep my turbo standars really needs a service might get the kandn panel filter do they work???

 

The best option for performance is the standard box with an K&N panel filter. The XR3i and RST filter fit eachother.

 

yup they work, better than cones

 

got k&n panel on mine plus my bro has the same on his 2i make a significant differeance plus dont need periodic replacement so you cant go wrong

 

yes i heard that the element, drilled airbox conbination works better than 57i's etc.... on rs's. Soy have you still got your car? i read in performance ford that you were breaking it ....fucking sweet car matey

 

panel filter it is then cheers guys

 

maybee when you sit in traffic and get massive heat soak then the standard air box is better but when your out on the open road flying along I have seen better ACT temps from the cone filter !

As above.

 

hmmmm ur makin it hard nw due fink i can fit the 57i into the airbox 4 best of both worlds!!!

 

if u modify the airbox properly i cant c why u wont get good act's...

Dont drill it, waste of time. . do as above.
Fact - cones are wank. . .

 

in your opinion

 

nope, FACT - been proven infront of my own eyes many times im not telling you to change it. . .

 

Well said Dave

Cone filters are a total waste of money, i have a standard very dirty ford panel filter in a airbox identical to Daves(vroooomptssssh) and im getting 205.1 @ the wheels.

You trying to tell me i would get more power putting on an exposed filter that sits about 2 feet from a roasting hot turbo

 

Here is mine

 

take ya hed light out and go along at 50mph+ an that heat wont get near ya "crap" cone filter!

only time heat from turbo will get to it is standing still! unless suddenly heat rises to the left?????

 

we could all argue about this all day long but at the end of the day its personel preference ! I have personally seen better ACT temps from using my cone filter so I think I'll stick with that !
